Lori Cole and Art Hughes Bio
 
As the daughter of Shirley Bell, Radio’s original Little Orphan Annie it is no surprise that Lori Cole came to her singing talent naturally. Lori’s career began at the age of 19 when she started singing for radio and television commercials in the busy advertising community of Chicago.
 
Lori had the good fortune of learning her craft with some of the finest musicians, singers and the industry had to offer. She had a twenty plus year career singing jingles for such products as McDonalds, La Choy, United Airlines, KFC, Juicy Fruit Gum and The Incredible Edible Egg along with many, many more.
 
One of the benefits of singing commercials for a living was that it gave Lori the opportunity of spending numerous hours in the recording studio. Wanting to sing more than 30 seconds of music Lori began recording songs of all kinds, from rock and roll to R&B. 
 
Since getting together as Manifest, Lori and Art have had the joy of combining their considerable talents
